Say hello

Hi

Welcome to the Macmillan community - although, equally - sorry that you find yourself here.

You can chat with other ladies and/or ask questions on this site.  There is an Awake thread which is a really chatty thread that you can join in with or if you have any particular questions that people can answer, post like you have done already.

The not knowing what's happening until you have results of scans/biopsies is the worst stage - once you know a little more, you can start 'getting your head around it all'.

It sounds that you have IDC stage 2 (same as I was back in 2017), but they haven't told you what type of cancer you have yet.  The MRI etc will enlighten you a lot more and then you'll have plenty of questions, I'm sure for the ladies here to help you with.

I know it's a daft thing to say, but try not to worry in the meantime as it won't change anything.  Very difficult to do, but so easy to say - I know!

Kindest wishes to you,

Hello Lesleyhelen

Thank you so much for your reply.  I so appreciate it. 

Thank you for explaining it a bit more too and sending a link to the Awake thread. I will definitely try that. 

I am concerned about no operation but going on Letrozole for 3 months. 

I am sorry you have found yourself here too.  How are you doing?  

 Thank you for your support once again. I’m trying to not worry but I find I’m getting more tearful as time goes by.

Kind wishes too

Hi and another warm welcome. As your story unfolds, you’ll find more people with similar experiences, one thing’s for sure here, you won’t be alone. My cancer was also IDC grade 2. And I think all of us here have found the waiting horrendous. You’re in limbo, trying not to imagine the worst. But everyone seems to feel more positive once things start happening. So hang in here, don’t google, post here and ask questions, none are silly on here. 

Easier said than done, but hope you can keep busy during these ‘limbo’ days. Sending virtual love and hugs, HFxx

Hi HappyFeet1

Thank you for such a lovely welcome.  I tend to feel worse first thing in the morning but am trying to stay positives and I am staying away from Google.

Hope you are getting on well in your recovery.

Thank you - sending you love and hugs too xxx
